I'm actively following this season, and it’s incredible. Almost every driver has had their moment to shine—Lando, Oscar, Sergio, Charles, and of course Max as usual, plus Williams stepping up too. Off the track race to catch up to Red Bull’s performance and speed, and unexpected driver changes that blow me away bruh. And then there was the Godzilla return in the Singapore GP what a season!

I am 63 years old and have been following F1 very closely for more than 40 years. I witnessed and followed the Senna and Schumaker years closely. Truth be told, I was not a great fan of either driver. Both had a steely, almost narcissistic obsession with winning and coming second was not an option. The cacophony of noise that followed them (prior to social media) was deafening.

Senna was described as a danger to himself, and other drivers, and it would only be a matter of time before he caused a serious (potentially fatal) crash. It was said that he meditated deeply prior to the race and that he believed that he was guided by some higher power, which made him untouchable in the race. It was claimed that he remained sitting in his car when the race was interrupted (red flagged) often for long periods, as he did not want anything to break this mental focus.  It was said that his “crazy beliefs” rather than exceptional talent, was the only explanation for the crazy high speeds he was able to able to race at, in very poor conditions with near zero visibility!

Interesting to see that the more things change, the more they stay the same. One can only love F1!
